[I don’t want to act, I don’t want to act at all]
「Why don’t you find Xiang Zhinian? We are your professional match. Please let me, a poor, weak and helpless person, go. I don’t even dare to think if I can come out alive after joining your crew.」
[See what the script says about you: "Extremely demanding", "Often asked to come back for reshoots after wrapping up", does your drama ever wrap up? ]
Yu Quezhou: ...
When he raised his eyes, he saw the people behind Xiang Wanning nodded in approval after hearing what she said.
Then, Yu Quezhou heard her aria-like voice again: [After all, these six months are the only happy time I have left.]
[Can you be nicer to the person who will be undergoing high-level amputation and being packed off to a nursing home in six months? ]
[If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a beautiful place... I hope you can be gentler with me in the future, thank you]
Upon hearing this voice, Mo Yin's face changed and the teacup in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp sound.
She rubbed her ears in disbelief as if she had misheard.
High amputation?! And ended up in a nursing home?!
How is that possible!
The tea overflowed, and Mo Yin's white cheongsam was stained with tea color, but she didn't care about this at the moment. Instead, she looked up in surprise and met Xiang Chisong's gaze.
The questioning look in her eyes was caught by the latter. He nodded slightly at Mo Yin and mouthed: I haven't had time to tell you yet.
Mo Yin stretched out his foot and stomped hard on the other person.
Not in time? When will it be in time? Must everything be set in stone and there is no possibility of change before I can tell her? !
Her heart was beating like a drum and she was very anxious.
Even if this person is not the real Xiang Wanning, the body she used is still Xiang Wanning's body! No, Mo Yin thought, how could she have such a tragic ending? She must not have this accident!
Mo Yin and Xiang Tingye exchanged glances and both took this matter to heart.
Xiang Chisong, who was standing aside, took a deep breath and looked to his father for help, but was ignored with a sneer.
He looked at his grandfather again, who handed his crutch to Mo Yin and said silently: Hit me with this, it will hurt a little.
Xiang Chisong: …
No, why am I always the one who gets hurt?
He's worthless, right?
"What's going on?"
Xiang Wanning was startled when she heard the sound of a teacup breaking. She couldn't help but ask, then she looked down and just missed their interaction.
She was a little surprised to see that the broken set of teacups was the one that Mo Yin liked very much, but she still came to Mo Yin obediently and called sweetly: "You are not burned, are you? It doesn't matter if the teacups are broken, I will put them away."
Mo Yin shook his head. Seeing that she was about to pick up the fragments, he quickly stopped her and called the servants to clean up. He scolded her, "What are you picking up? Don't cut your hands!"
Xiang Wanning felt a little embarrassed. According to her character, she should take this opportunity to snuggle into Mo Yin's arms and act coquettishly, making her happy, and then find a chance to report to Xiang Zhinian.
But she is not used to being too close to people, especially when facing elders. Even when acting, she will feel uncomfortable.
So Xiang Wanning had to express her concern shyly, and then prepared to go upstairs to sleep somewhat awkwardly. Who knew that in the end the contract went around in circles and was handed to her by Xiang Tingye.
"I've seen it." He thought that since Xiang Wanning was also in the entertainment industry, she would need some experience, and this might be a good opportunity to reverse her reputation, so he said, "This play is pretty good. Aren't you in the entertainment industry? It's a good opportunity for you to practice. Don't be shy, just go and have fun."
Xiang Wanning: ...
[What? Just letting me practice Yu Quezhou's acting? ]
[Please wake up, I'm afraid I won't be able to come back! ]
[Ah, what should I do? Why is the original owner so stubborn? According to her character, I should be happy to agree, but...]
Suddenly thinking of something, Xiang Wan Ning said with some embarrassment: "It's not that I don't want to, but I'm still in the crew of "Remembering Linglong". I ran back secretly."
After that, she said a little worriedly: "I'm just a little tired, you won't blame me, right?"
Xiang Wanning lowered her voice and asked softly, with a hint of trepidation. Subconsciously, Xiang Tingye's heart melted, and he threw the previous thought out of the window. His heart suddenly surged with lofty ambitions: If she doesn't want to answer, then don't answer. Can the Xiang family starve her to death? ! Before Xiang Tingye could speak, Yu Quezhou, who didn't know if he couldn't listen anymore, sneered at the side: "It doesn't matter, I'll solve it for you, just say you quit the crew and let someone else take over... Isn't my heroine better than the second female lead in "Remembering Linglong"? "
wrong.
After saying this, Yu Quezhou thought about Xiang Wanning's character and thought that maybe she really believed this. So he changed the subject and seemed to have thought of something. He suddenly said, "It's a pity that Xiang Zhinian is in that crew and has no time to come to my place to film. Otherwise, it would be your turn?"
In Xiang Wanning's script, she and Xiang Zhinian are like water and fire. Xiang Wanning wants everything that Xiang Zhinian has, and she even has a secret desire to be one step ahead of the other.
After he said this, even if the other party wanted to refuse, they would endure it because of their personality.
Xiang Wanning: ...
It has come to this point, why should Xiang Zhinian compare with her? How can her character bear this? So Xiang Wanning took out the pen from his chest provocatively, signed her name on the last page of the contract, and then returned it to Yu Quezhou. Seeing him glance at her as if he was a winner, she suddenly didn't want him to have it so easy.
Xiang Wan Ning cleared her throat and began to spread rumors: "Oh, I'm so sorry for stealing my sister's leading female role, but my sister is very happy in "Remembering Linglong" and she also told me about Brother Que Zhou's play..."
She seemed to have tried to hold it back, but couldn't help it, and muttered softly, "They said that Brother Quezhou's directing ability is very poor, and he doesn't want to cooperate with you... Oh, look how I said it, Brother Quezhou won't mind, right?"
"I will help you persuade my sister, don't be angry~"
Everyone: ...
Even the bloody TV series nowadays don't say this line! What's more, when she said this, she didn't act like a pitiful, divisive green tea. Her face was full of "I'm so annoyed" and "Can you finish talking earlier and leave work?" Even her tone was flat.
Well, well, today the whole family has seen how bad Xiang Wanning’s acting skills are.
Xiang Tingye even thought that if the tasker remained in this world after completing the task, he would give some of his property to the other party.
…
After Yu Quezhou gritted his teeth and said "No need", everyone watched Xiang Wanning leave triumphantly, and then the people in the living room started discussing the previous topic again.
"Shen's stock price has fallen? Miss's company does have some tricks." Xiang Tingye said: "I found out that the company is mainly targeting the pharmaceutical market, how could it go against Shen's?"
Shen Yanli frowned: “Miss’ company is acquiring a gaming company recently.”
"Is their next plan to target the game "God of Creation" developed by Zhouyou Company?" Mr. Xiang's decades of keen business sense made him realize that this matter was not simple, and he vaguely sensed the ambition of Miss Company.
"The God of Creation cannot be easily imitated or surpassed. It has the leading technology of this era, unless..."
Yu Quezhou finished speaking confidently, and then thought of a guess, so he changed the subject and said, "Unless he develops holographic technology, he can defeat "Creator God" and seize the gaming market."
But this condition does not hold at all.
Because in Xiang Wanning's script, their world was written by the author, and only Xiang Zhinian, the heroine, could do all this.
But Yu Quezhou felt a little confused. He turned his head and looked at Shen Yanli: "Aren't you the male lead? Why can't you do it?"
Xiang Chisong said again: "My sister has so many identities, each of them is a hidden boss, what about you?"
Mo Yin joined the topic with great interest, looked at his future son-in-law, and said, "Based on my experience of watching TV dramas over the years, the strength of the male and female protagonists is usually not much different. Since you can become the male protagonist, then what Chinen can do, you should be able to do it too, right?"
Everyone looked at him.
Chen Yanli: …
No, he really couldn't.
When he shook his head, he clearly saw the regret that was inadvertently revealed on everyone's faces.
Shen Yanli was silent for a moment, and painfully brought the topic back: "The point is Miss Company. Although it is targeting me and Yu Quezhou now, it is difficult to avoid Xiang's company."
Nodding to Chi Song: "I know this, I will prepare a response plan. Do you want to work together to deal with Miss Company, or do you want to lure the snake out of its hole?"
"Of course it's the latter." Yu Quezhou took over the conversation: "I have to see who is behind them."
At this point, Yu Quezhou paused, his tone chilling: "I always feel that there are more than one pair of eyes watching us from behind."
Mo Yin sighed at the side. Somehow, she always felt an indescribable panic. She couldn't help but pinch the root of her nose. When their discussion paused, she asked, "I can't help you with business matters. You can decide for yourselves. But what Wan Ning said about having her leg amputated in half a year must not happen!"
She gave them a task: "Listen carefully to her thoughts and make sure you understand the plot later."
"But." Xiang Chisong hesitated for a moment and asked, "What if this is part of her mission?"
What if their obstruction delays the progress of the task and causes the other party to fail to complete the task? What will be the consequences for the tasker? What if the tasker does not know what the consequences of failing to complete the task are?
Everyone fell silent because of Xiang Chisong's words until Mo Yin spoke.
"We have to give it a try. Are we just going to watch her go to the inevitable end?"
Yu Quezhou seemed puzzled by Mo Yin's sudden sadness, or perhaps his past experiences had made him a cold-hearted person. He said, "But she is a tasker, Auntie. She is not your real daughter."
Yu Quezhou looked at Mo Yin: "Perhaps from the perspective of their taskers, I am here to replace the characters in the novel and complete their plot. This is a fact that cannot be changed."
"Is it really impossible to change?" Mo Yin met his gaze, tears flickering in her eyes, but she clearly unraveled everything Xiang Wanning had done after she came back: "In her script, Xiang Wanning was supposed to be an arrogant and rude person who was hated by everyone."
"But in fact, the rumors about her on the Internet have gradually died down, and we no longer hate her as much as her script said. Hasn't the script changed?"
“Que Zhou, even if she is a tasker, she is also a real person. She will also get hurt here. Whether it is for her or for my daughter whom I have never met, I must prevent this from happening.”
At the end, she sighed and said weakly, "You guys chat, I'll go upstairs and change my clothes first."
Mo Yin walked up the stairs, thinking about the script and what was about to happen, and her mood was inevitably heavy. It was not until she arrived at the door of her room and saw a gift box on the carpet that this heavy mood turned into surprise.
Who put this thing at the door? Did the servant confiscate it?
She took the gift box in her hand puzzledly, and as soon as she opened it, the note inside caught her eyes: - I saw that you liked drinking tea, so I secretly bought a set of tea sets. I wanted to give it to you in a few days, but just now I saw that your favorite teacup was broken, so I wanted to give it to you in advance... Please don't be sad^_^ Mo Yin looked at the handwriting and her eyes were hot.
She knew that the person on the task was somewhat uncomfortable with them. Even though their words were intimate, their actions were still distant. She seemed to be strictly following the template given in the script, stroke by stroke.
Until now, she had never heard the word "Mom" from the other person's mouth.
So, after Mo Yin saw this gift, the respectful words on it made her understand that this must be the other party's true heart.
The tea set in the gift box was exactly the one he had casually mentioned at home: a green-glazed teacup with carved patterns, which was not cheap.
Even Mo Yin himself forgot about this matter because he was in a spur of the moment, but Xiang Wanning always remembered it.
At this moment, Mo Yin suddenly felt that his previous grudges were so ridiculous.
So what if she is a tasker? So what if she is not her biological daughter? Whether she is in the shell of "Xiang Wanning" or not, it does not affect her to treat her well. If the real Xiang Wanning comes back, she will also treat her with care. Even if she is still in the Xiang family, what does it matter? Can't the Xiang family afford to support her? Since she can give Xiang Zhinian another daughter, can't she give her one more? Mo Yin put away the gift and turned around to knock on Xiang Wanning's door.
Under Xiang Wanning's anxious but expectant gaze, Mo Yin reached out and rubbed her face fiercely, saying in a high-spirited tone, "Thank you for the gift, baby. Mom likes it very much. Let's go shopping!"
Ladies, today's update has arrived~ (beat the gongs and drums)
Thank you for your votes and rewards, thank you babies! Love you (* ̄3 ̄)╭I have already thought of the ending in my mind, and even hope that I can type in my dreams. From time to time, I am in the illusion that "I feel that I can finish this article with 10,000 words."
I always feel that I have written a lot, but when I open my page, I find that I have only written more than 100,000 words.
Actually, I told the editor that I could write 500,000 words. Sometimes I felt that I couldn’t write that long, and sometimes I felt that I could write 1,000,000 words.
The more I write, the more I find my shortcomings, but persistence is the most important thing! Thank you, my dears, for following the series and for tolerating me. I am the little author you have nurtured! I will work hard to finish it! I will strive to make each book better than the last. I believe that quantitative change will definitely lead to qualitative change! Hehe, I ate sausages recently. The Chinese New Year is coming soon!
So where are my saved manuscripts? (Running around) Who stole them? (Covering ears) (Screaming and yelling) What? In Ming Tian’s arms? (Shouting) Ming Tian is brave! !
It will definitely work tomorrow (clench your claws) (encourage) (want to have a good new year) (End of this chapter)
